Ok, well all the other teams left I fancy our chances against

Damn, missed Man U, really wanted to draw them.  And missed Inter

Big names still in the pot and we haven't been drawn yet, I feel a big match coming up!

Appeal 

There is nothing to appeal.  He rightly got the yellow card, it doesn't matter that it hasn't been implemented elsewhere.  Morelos has done much better this season, but he can't go back to giving refs decisions.

Yeah other teams don't get cards for that, but remember we get cards for blowing kisses.  It doesn't make it right but Morelos is showing his stupidity there and letting the ref make a choice to book him.  The last few games Morelos has been showing a wee bit of that petulance that he had got rid of, he needs to keep a lid on it.

Took us about 20 mins to get into that, but it is still more graft than guile. IMHO a couple of decent penalty shouts, the first a "might be", the second as stonewall as it gets. After the goal Motherwell upped their physical approach, Barsisc and Afredo on the end of some heinous stuff, and later on several chaps tried to wind up Alfredo. IMHO, at such time SG should have a word with the 4th official and the ref at HT, as this is bound to get nasty if they don't step in.

 

As for the players, Kent needs  to get his act together near the area, for he looks "too hectic" there and looses the ball too often.

 

Over all content with the display ... workmanlike as it is.

 

 

I actually feel more like we're going to win these games than when we are all over a team and haven't scored within 20 mins.  Mad though.

Great from Katic, not sure we can ignore his goal threat, he is so much more dangerous than any other defender we have.

A rather cloudy morning with occasional showers, these merging to longer periods of rain at times across western areas, with small chance of wet snow reaching lower levels in heaviest outbreaks. Turning largely dry, increasingly bright from the south later. Maximum temperature 5 °C.

Helander will be gutted, it'll be like missing a summer holiday for him

YES MAN!!!!!

is jack missing for both matches?

fuck man I'm destroyed.  Now to watch the country get destroyed in the election.

Oh my god you are joking me here

This is brutal.  I feel for Ojo, tough time to come on but he's been rank rotten

Well it was inevitable

Aribo scaring me a little here!  

Man what happened to Aribo there?  So much space and he just lost it!

I agree with you about Barker but there were not many options on the subs bench.

I know Ojo isn't perfect but I think he's a much better player than Barker.

I’d also disagree that we lost because of Collum.  He got most decisions right.  His linesman cost us the game.  Collum COULD have given us a further two penalties but they were also easy enough to not give.

Yeah I agree, and to be honest I'm not sure I would change anything, perhaps aside from bringing on Barker who I feel adds nothing.  If we play like that for the rest of the season we'll win the vast majority of our games, today was a freak.  It's just a shame that we couldn't get the monkey off our back.

I hope Gerrard AND the club come out and demand that Scottish football implements VAR.  Sure, should have scored from the penalty.... however, denied a second stonewallers and the goal which won it saw THREE players offside.

 

Absolutely honking officiating that needs called out.

 

i actually think this will help our season. They won but we completely outplayed them - on another day that finished 5 or 6-1 - confidence must be taken from absolutely dominating them.

I hope you're right. one of the teams is likely to screw the nut after this game, I hope it's us.

Biggest mistake was letting Morelos take the penalty, he's never the type to be taking pens.

This is gutting, so gutting.

Arfield, you can't be doing that.  Why is there no movement now?  The last 25 minutes have been so static when we should have been giving it everything

Katic to score from a corner!

Also, I haven't seen anything to suggest Barker is a player, not even a sub.

I think we have to take heart, we've been phenomenal really, but we now look out of ideas.  We are getting there, but perhaps today isnt our day.

This is just unbelievable.  I can't see us scoring and I think it's only a matter of time before Column gives us a red.

We have really come so far under Gerrard.  Sutton is talking nonsense that there'll be questions about him if we don't win.  We are still working to a constrained budget in comparison with Celtic, Gerrard is doing a brilliant job.  
 

However, I am absolutely petrified of the second half now.  I'm not sure Celtic can play that poorly again and can we keep up that intensity?  We were brilliant, but Jesus I hope it's not one of those days where we pay for not putting the ball away.
